Curated network of tech-curious farmers for agritech betas.
Solo agritech founders struggle to recruit beta testers from the farming community due to lacking personal networks and farmers' high skepticism toward new tech.
BetaFarmNet builds a private network of pre-vetted, tech-open farmers who opt-in for beta invites, solving founder network issues with a ready tester pool. Founders send targeted invites, track responses via app, and aggregate insights. Reduces skepticism through community endorsements and reputation scores.
